Pd catalyzed C-C Coupling reactions- a short introduction (Nobel Prize 2010)SonamVSancheti
Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize for developing highly practical methods for carbon-carbon bond formation using palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. These reactions allow carbon atoms to be joined in a controlled and selective manner under mild conditions. Some key developments included the Mizoroki-Heck reaction in 1972, the Negishi reaction in 1977 using organozinc reagents, the Stille reaction in 1978 using organostannanes, and the Suzuki reaction in 1979 using organoborons. These discoveries fundamentally changed organic synthesis strategies and paved the way for broader applications of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling in both academia and industry.
The document discusses the conjugate base mechanism for the base hydrolysis of cobalt(III) ammine complexes.
1) The complex [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ acts as a Bronsted acid and loses a proton to form the conjugate base [Co(NH3)4(NH2)Cl]+.
2) The conjugate base is more labile than the original complex and undergoes an SN1 reaction by slowly dissociating chloride, forming a pentacoordinated intermediate.
3) Several experiments provide evidence that the reaction follows a conjugate base mechanism, including second-order kinetics and the rate being independent of hydroxide concentration at high levels.

Metal organic Frameworks for sensor applicationABHISHEK KATOCH
This document summarizes a student's research project on synthesizing and characterizing transition metal-based metal-organic frameworks for sensor applications. The student synthesized MOF-5 and nickel-doped MOF-5 at various concentrations using a solvothermal method. Characterization using XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis, and photoluminescence showed the materials maintained their crystalline structure and porous nature after doping. Testing showed the materials were responsive to NO2 gas, indicating potential for sensor applications. Future work could aim to improve sensitivity, selectivity, and response time for detecting harmful gases.
Transition metal derivatives of polyhedral boranes and carboranes can form in different ways. Metallocarboranes often form "sandwich" structures where the metal is bonded between two closo-carborane ligands. These structures are more stable than metallocenes due to properties of the carborane ligands. Metal derivatives of polyhedral boranes can form direct bonds to boron atoms or ionic bonds to the cluster. One example is Cu2B10H10, which has a unique diagonal bonding structure unlike the typical "sandwich". These compounds have various applications including catalysis, organic synthesis, and medicine.

It then discusses the applications of 19F, 29Si, and 31P NMR spectroscopy for structure elucidation of inorganic molecules. Examples are provided to illustrate how NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants can provide information about functional groups, molecular structures, and stereochemistry.

Pearson’s Concept
Historically, the first of the scientific concepts of acids and bases was provided by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, circa 1776.
Lavoisier's knowledge of strong acids was mainly restricted to oxyacids, which tend to contain central atoms in high oxidation states surrounded by oxygen, such as HNO3 and H2SO4, and he was not aware of the true composition of the hydrohalic acids, HCl, HBr, and HI. From his limited knowledge,
He defined acids in terms of their content of oxygen, and he named oxygen from Greek words meaning "acid-former"
This document provides information on acids and bases, including:
- The Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, and Lewis theories of acids and bases.
- Classification of acids and bases as strong or weak based on degree of ionization.
- Conjugate acid-base pairs and how they are involved in acid-base reactions.
- The pH scale and relationships between [H+], [OH-], pH, pOH, and pKw.
- Key acid-base concepts such as autoionization of water, amphoteric nature of water, and using Ka/pKa values to determine acid strength.
The document discusses several theories of acids and bases that developed over time:
- Lavoisier's original oxygen theory defined acids as containing oxygen (1776). This was disproven by Davy in 1810.
- Liebig proposed in 1838 that acids contain replaceable hydrogen.
- Arrhenius' 1884 definition defined acids as producing hydrogen ions (H+) and bases as producing hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solutions, which became the standard definition.
- Lewis in 1923 expanded the definition to electron pair transfers between any acids and bases, not just involving hydrogen.
- Other theories such as Lux-Flood's oxygen theory of 1939 and Pearson's hard/soft acid base principle
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are stable species containing a carbene carbon atom adjacent to at least one nitrogen atom in a ring structure. NHCs were first synthesized in the 1960s but were not isolated until 1991. They are stable due to inductive, mesomeric, and aromatic effects. NHCs are stronger sigma donors than phosphines and provide greater stability and reactivity to transition metal complexes. They have widespread applications as ligands in catalysis due to their tunable activities and stability in air and moisture.
This document discusses different definitions of acids and bases that were proposed over time:
1. Lavoisier defined acids as containing oxygen. Liebig later defined acids as containing hydrogen that can be replaced by a metal.
2. Arrhenius defined acids as substances that produce hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solution and bases as substances that produce hydroxide (OH-) ions.
3. Brønsted and Lowry defined acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors in acid-base reactions, forming conjugate acid-base pairs.
4. Lewis expanded the definition to include electron pair donors and acceptors in both aqueous and non-aqueous reactions.
It also discusses
1) The Nef reaction involves the acid hydrolysis of primary or secondary nitroalkane salts, which produces carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes or ketones.
2) The reaction was first reported by J.U. Nef in 1894 and is generally used to convert nitroalkanes into the corresponding carbonyl compounds.
3) Over time, modified Nef reactions have been developed using oxidizing or reducing agents to improve the selectivity and functional group tolerance of the reaction. These allow synthesis of various biologically active compounds.
The document summarizes key ideas and evidence regarding the origin of life on Earth, including:
1) Early Earth conditions like the Urey atmosphere could have enabled the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules and compounds found in meteorites.
2) Experiments in the 1950s and 1960s demonstrated plausible prebiotic synthesis routes for important biomolecules like amino acids and nucleotides.
3) RNA molecules could have served both genetic and catalytic functions in a hypothetical "RNA world" before the emergence of DNA and proteins.
This document provides an overview of the early history and development of atomic theory in chemistry. It discusses how early Greek philosophers proposed ideas about atoms and the four classical elements. It then describes how alchemy dominated for 2000 years, during which time elements were discovered and mineral acids prepared. The foundations of modern chemistry were established in the 16th-17th centuries through quantitative experiments by Robert Boyle and Antoine Lavoisier's verification of the law of conservation of mass through careful weighing experiments. Lavoisier also discovered that combustion involved oxygen, not phlogiston as previously believed. After 1800, chemistry advanced through quantitative experiments determining chemical compositions and Proust's law of definite proportions.
Lithium is a soft, silvery metal that is the lightest of all metals and the first element in the alkali metal family, having an atomic number of 3. As the least dense of all metals, lithium has a low melting point of 180 degrees Celsius and is very reactive, especially with water. Lithium and its compounds have various industrial and medical uses such as in lithium-ion batteries, psychiatric medications, and air treatment to remove carbon dioxide from the air.
The Heck reaction is a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction between an aryl or vinyl halide and an alkene, generating a new carbon-carbon bond. The reaction proceeds through oxidative addition, coordination, insertion, beta-hydride elimination and reductive elimination steps with a palladium catalyst and base. The Heck reaction is widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis such as for the NSAID Naproxen and in materials synthesis like for sunscreen agents.
The document discusses biogeochemical cycles and the composition and evolution of Earth's atmosphere. It provides details on the cycling of specific elements like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur between Earth's reservoirs, driven by physical, chemical, and biological processes. Key events discussed include the rise of oxygen levels due to photosynthesis, the runaway greenhouse effect that occurred on Venus but not Earth, and human perturbations to the nitrogen cycle through activities like fossil fuel combustion and intensive agriculture.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
ESPP presentation to EU Waste Water Network, 4th June 2024 “EU policies driving nutrient removal and recycling
and the revised UWWTD (Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive)”
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
